Description

[0001] This application claims the priority of:

CN202210405730.4, filed on April 18, 2022.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure discloses a series of coumarin compounds and applications thereof, and specifically discloses a compound represented by formula (I) and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

BACKGROUND

[0003] The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway is one of the important pathways in the signal transduction network of eukaryotic organisms. It is a key signaling pathway for cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and stress response under normal and pathological conditions. MAPK is a group of evolutionarily conserved serine-threonine kinases. The RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway is one of the MAPK pathways. Its protein overexpression or mutation has been found in many malignant tumors. The RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway is one of the typical signaling pathways in the field of tumors.

[0004] Statistics show that 31% of non-small cell lung cancer in patients is driven by KRAS mutations, 90% of pancreatic cancer in patients is driven by KRAS mutations; in addition, 21 % of endometrial cancer, 45% of colorectal cancer, 5% of ovarian cancer, etc. are all driven by KRAS mutations; 28% of melanoma and 20% of multiple myeloma are driven by NRAS mutations; 60% of melanoma, 35-60% of ovarian cancer, 30-80% of papillary thyroid cancer, etc. are driven by BRAF mutations. There is a large population of patients.

[0005] There are already several drugs targeting RAF and MEK on the market, but the approved indications of the currently marketed RAF small molecule inhibitors and MEK small molecule inhibitors are concentrated in melanoma with BRAF^V600E mutation. Under normal circumstances, BRAF has kinase activity only after dimerization after being phosphorylated by RAS, while mutated BRAF is always in an activated state. A BRAF^V600E monomer can phosphorylate MEK. In the case of RAS mutations, BRAF and CRAF form heterodimers to exert their effects. Existing RAF and MEK drugs are only effective for BRAF^V600E mutation, and are ineffective for tumors with RAS mutations upstream of MAPK. There is a need for new second-generation RAF small molecule inhibitors. The MEK inhibitors that are also on the market are allosteric kinase inhibitors. Although allosteric inhibitors are highly specific for MEK, they are susceptible to upstream kinase signals. Feedback regulation of MEK phosphorylation can cause the RAS pathway signal to be reactivated, and inhibiting MEK alone cannot effectively treat solid tumors with RAS mutations. Therefore, new dual RAF/MEK inhibitors may become an option for treating diseases with MAPK pathway activation.

[0019] The pharmaceutically acceptable salt disclosed herein can be prepared from the parent compound that contains an acidic or basic moiety by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salt can be prepared by reacting the free acid or base form of the compound with a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate base or acid in water or an organic solvent or a mixture thereof.

[0020] Compounds disclosed herein may be present in a specific geometric or stereoisomeric form. The present disclosure contemplates all such compounds, including cis and trans isomers, (-)- and (+)-enantiomers, (R)- and (S)-enantiomers, diastereoisomer, (D)-isomer, (L)-isomer, and a racemic mixture and other mixtures, for example, a mixture enriched in enantiomer or diastereoisomer, all of which are encompassed within the scope disclosed herein.

For example, a compound may be labeled with a radioisotope such as tritium (³H), iodine-125 (¹²⁵I) or C-14(¹⁴C). For another example, hydrogen can be replaced by heavy hydrogen to form a deuterated drug. The bond between deuterium and carbon is stronger than that between ordinary hydrogen and carbon. Compared with undeuterated drugs, deuterated drugs have advantages of reduced toxic side effects, increased drug stability, enhanced efficacy, and prolonged biological half-life of drugs. All changes in the isotopic composition of compounds disclosed herein, regardless of radioactivity, are included within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0022] The term "optional" or "optionally" means that the subsequent event or condition may occur but not requisite, that the term includes the instance in which the event or condition occurs and the instance in which the event or condition does not occur.

[0023] The term "substituted" means that one or more than one hydrogen atoms on a specific atom are substituted by a substituent, including deuterium and hydrogen variants, as long as the valence of the specific atom is normal and the substituted compound is stable. When the substituent is oxo (i.e., =O), it means two hydrogen atoms are substituted. Positions on an aromatic ring cannot be substituted by oxo. The term "optionally substituted" means an atom can be substituted by a substituent or not, unless otherwise specified, the species and number of the substituent may be arbitrary so long as being chemically achievable.

[0024] When any variable (such as R) occurs in the constitution or structure of the compound more than once, the definition of the variable at each occurrence is independent. Thus, for example, if a group is substituted by 0-2 R, the group can be optionally substituted by up to two R, wherein the definition of R at each occurrence is independent. Moreover, a combination of the substituent and/or the variant thereof is allowed only when the combination results in a stable compound.

[0025] When the number of a linking group is 0, such as -(CRR)₀-, it means that the linking group is a single bond.

[0026] When one of variables is a single bond, it means that the two groups linked by the single bond are connected directly. For example, when L in A-L-Z represents a single bond, the structure of A-L-Z is actually A-Z.

[0027] When an enumerated linking group does not indicate its linking direction, its linking direction is arbitrary. For example, when the linking group L in

is -M-W-, the -M-W- can be linked to the ring A and the ring B in the same direction as the reading order from left to right to constitute

or can be linked to the ring A and the ring B in the reverse direction as the reading order from left to right to constitute

A combination of the linking groups, substituents and/or variants thereof is allowed only when such combination can result in a stable compound.

[0028] Unless otherwise specified, when a group has one or more connectable sites, any one or more sites of the group can be connected to other groups through chemical bonds. Where the connection position of the chemical bond is variable, and there is H atom(s) at a connectable site(s), when the connectable site(s) having H atom(s) is connected to the chemical bond, the number of H atom(s) at this site will correspondingly decrease as the number of the connected chemical bond increases, and the group will become a group of corresponding valence. The chemical bond between the site and other groups can be represented by a straight solid bond

a straight dashed bond

or a wavy line

For example, the straight solid bond in -OCH₃ indicates that the group is connected to other groups through the oxygen atom in the group; the straight dashed bond in

indicates that the group is connected to other groups through two ends of the nitrogen atom in the group; the wavy line in

indicates that the group is connected to other groups through the 1- and 2-carbon atoms in the phenyl group;

indicates that any connectable site on the piperidinyl group can be connected to other groups through one chemical bond, including at least four connection ways,

and

even if a H atom is drawn on -N-,

The reaction system was stirred at 85°C for 12 hours. After the reaction was completed, the reaction solution was concentrated to dryness. Water (300 mL) was added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (200 mL*3). The layers were separated. The organic phases were combined and washed with saturated brine (150 mL*3). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated to obtain a crude product, which was separated and purified by column chromatography (eluent: petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 100:0-70:30) to obtain compound 1-2.

1. Cell culture: Human lung cancer cells NCI-H358 (ECACC-95111733) were revived and cultured in vitro in monolayers in RPMI 1640 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% double antibody. The cells were cultured in a 37°C 5% CO₂ cell incubator, and passaged twice a week. When the saturation of NCI-H358 cells reached 80%-90%, the cells were harvested, counted, and inoculated.

Note: QD means once daily.

4. Tumor measurements and assay parameters

[0096] The assay index is to examine whether the tumor growth is inhibited, delayed or cured. The tumor diameter was measured with a vernier caliper twice a week. The calculation formula of tumor volume is: V = 0.5 a × b², where a and b represent the long diameter and short diameter of the tumor respectively.

[0097] The anti-tumor efficacy of the compound was evaluated by TGI (%) or relative tumor proliferation rate T/C (%). TGI (%) reflects the tumor growth inhibition rate. Calculation of TGI (%): TGI (%) = [1- (average tumor volume of a certain treatment group at a certain measurement - average tumor volume of the treatment group at grouping) / (average tumor volume of the vehicle control group at the same measurement - average tumor volume of the vehicle control group at grouping)] × 100%. Relative tumor proliferation rate T/C (%): The calculation formula is as follows: T/C % = T_RTV / C_RTV × 100 % (T_RTV: RTV of the treatment group; C_RTV: RTV of the negative control group). The relative tumor volume (RTV) was calculated based on the results of tumor measurement. The calculation formula is RTV = V_t/V₀, where V₀ is the average tumor volume measured at grouping (i.e. PG-D0), V_t is the average tumor volume at a certain measurement, and T_RTV and C_RTV are taken from the same day.

TGI (%) reflects the tumor growth inhibition rate. TGI (%) = [(1 - (average tumor volume at the end of a treatment group's administration - average tumor volume at the beginning of the treatment group's administration))/(average tumor volume at the end of the vehicle control group's treatment - average tumor volume at the beginning of the vehicle control group's treatment)] × 100%.

Vehicle	N/A	899 mm3	N/A	N/A
Compound 3	0.3 mg/kg	71 mm3	7.90%	111.4%
Compound 3	1.5 mg/kg	67 mm3	7.45%	111.9%

[0100] Assay conclusion: The compound of the present disclosure has significant tumor-suppressing effects. The current dosage and intermittent administration may have achieved the maximum tumor-suppressing effect of this target. Future in vivo efficacy studies will consider reducing the dosage or adopting intermittent administration to demonstrate dose-dependency and improve animal tolerance.
